Since its inception, 90 years ago, Weleda has embodied sustainability. Our company has always placed great importance on ecological, social and economic responsibility. Our founder Rudolf Steiner's vision was for a company that would put itself totally "at the service of the human being and the world as a whole.” Serving people and ensuring respectful treatment of the environment are firmly established values within our company. Today, with the environment ever at risk, our company has vowed to step up its efforts to protect the planet and to work with a meaningful footprint. The Weleda Group has set several major goals and measures for...

Last week I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Weleda’s Biodynamic® gardens in Germany and take a tour of all 135 acres of them. The gardens are located in the tiny village of Wetzgau, near the slightly larger town of Schwabisch Gmund. As I walked up the road to Weleda Naturals, where the visitor’s center and a production facility are located, I recognized the unique ranch-style building I had seen only in pictures. Sabine, who is the event coordinator at Weleda Naturals, told me that I needed to arrive early the next morning to see the calendula. If I slept in, even a little, I would miss them. The the...

My son, Ben, is such a critic these days! Today he told me that I have too many Weleda products in the bathroom. It got me thinking about how Weleda is a friend throughout my day. I use our products morning and night, and whether Ben knows it or not, so does he! My favorite product, Salt Toothpaste, did take some getting used to, I admit. But I have been using it now for 18 years. I tell customers who call us that they may find it the taste strange at first, because it’s very different than most conventional toothpastes. But once you start using it regularly, you won’t be able to go back to the other stuff. And anyway, have...

Summer is finally here and our chamomile flowers are in full bloom! Chamomile flowers are little, but they are special in a big way. You might know this flower best for its ability to be dried and made into delicious, calming tea, but here at Weleda it is known more as one of the amazing ingredients in our skin care and medicines. Also known as German Chamomile or Wild Chamomile, this annual herb blooms small white flowers. I think they look just like daisies. The best time to spot them is between May and August. They grow prolific throughout Europe and northern Asia. Chamomile is very fine and must be harvested by hand, then cleaned of soil and...

Most of the cultivating beauty we do here at Weleda North America is from our desks. We leave the actual digging to the expert gardeners at our Biodynamic® gardens in Germany and on our partner farms around the world. Recently, however, we got to experience Biodynamic® gardening firsthand at the non-profit Pfeiffer Center in Chestnut Ridge, NY, not far from our headquarters in Palisades. It's thought to be the oldest Biodynamic® garden in the U.S. Armed with shovels, sunscreen and our Weleda-branded water bottles, our team spent a hot day volunteering at the gardens there. After an introduction by Mac Mead, program...

I've Just Started Using Some of Weleda's Skincare Products Recently and I Have To Say That I've Been So Pleasantly Surprised By The Results!! I Bought My First Product By Weleda A Month Ago And I Chose The Almond Soothing Facial Lotion Because I Have Super Dry Skin And I Wanted A Deep Moisturizing Lotion To Combat The Dryness! I've Tried Other Products That Claim To Be Intensive Moisturizers And They Seem To Help Temporarily, But Never Last Very Long. Not Only Did The Almond Soothing Facial Lotion Deeply Moisturize, Smooth & Plump, But The Results Lasted All Day!!! I Was So Excited Over My New Treasure Find, I Ran Out And Bought Another Tube For Fear That They Would Sell Out Or Wouldn't Have It In Stock When I Ran Out!! Weleda Calls It.....Almond Soothing Facial Lotion. I Call It.....My Mini Face Lift In A Tube!! After Using It For Over A Month Now, My Skin Has Transformed-It Looks & Feels Amazing!! Thanks Weleda!! #WeledaListens

YOU KNOW HOW YOU FEEL WHEN YOU'VE JUST GOTTEN A NEW MAKEOVER THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE, A NEW OUTFIT THAT YOU CAN'T WAIT TO WEAR, A NEW PURSE YOU CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW OFF!! EVEN BETTER, A BRAND NEW ATTITUDE?!! BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I FELT AFTER FINDING WELEDA' S SKIN FOOD!! I WAS CURSED, FOR SOME REASON, WITH SUPER DRY SKIN TO THE POINT OF REDNESS, ITCHING AND EVEN PAINFUL AT TIMES AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT PAIN CAN DO TO OUR OVER-ALL DEMEANOR, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT DRY SKIN INFLAMED LOOKS HORRIBLE! THEN ONE DAY, IN TARGET, I WAS SHOPPING, FOR NO ONE THING IN PARTICULAR, AND A CUSTOMER WAS PICKING UP A TUBE AND SHE WAS SINGING ITS' PRAISES SO I BOUGHT A TUBE TO TRY AND IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SLATHER. AND I DO MEAN SLATHER, BECAUSE I PILED IT OWN NOT REALIZING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I HAD FINALLY FOUND A CREME THAT I DIDN'T NEED TO OVER-APPLY BECAUSE OF SEVERELY DRY SKIN. NOT ONLY WERE THE RESULTS INSTANT, BUT THE LASTING EFFECTS WERE AMAZING!! USING SKIN FOOD, FOR ME, IS LIKE HAVING A NEW MAKEOVER THAT I LOVE, AN OUTFIT I CAN'T WAIT TO PUT ON, AN ATTITUDE THAT'S HAPPY & GRATEFUL, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I'M CONSTANTLY SHOWING IT OFF LIKE A BRAND NEW PURSE EVERY DAY I PUT IT ON AS WELL AS BRAGGING NON-STOP!!! #WeledaListens

I love Weleda on the account of many things. First of all, I love that Weleda uses biodynamic plants. I love the connection and energy to anthroposophy. For this reason, we only (by we I mean myself and my baby girl) only use Weleda products or products that I make because I know and trust the products. Weleda ultimately also inspired me to start making my own products. I now have my own business and sell my lip balms in close to 100 stores nationally! This has all been a gigantic blessing being a mother who gets to be at home with her now almost 2 year old pride of her life!! I have been a long time fan of Weleda. My baby girl and I share the same soaps and lotions. It's hard to choose one product for a possibly year supply, but I chose the calendula shampoo and body wash because we go through it the fastest! Im a sincere fan of Weleda. Glad to offer up a testimonial!
